Squalane and Squalene are oily materials commonly found in other oils. They both are natural components of human sebum - a mixture of lipids produced in the skin. These compounds are often used in formulations for cleansing, hair-conditioning, eye makeup, foundations, lipstick, tanning products, and sunscreen. 

They act as lubricating skin-conditioning agents. They impart a soft, smooth texture to the skin. It also occurs naturally in particular fish and plant oils (such as olive). 

It has moisturization properties as well but doesn't leave the skin greasy.
